Verdict
Lermontov has an interesting pedigree and has travelled down from North Yorkshire to make his debut but ZULU TRACKER boasts solid handicap form this year and can finally get his head in front back in maiden company. Argonault may appreciate a drop back in distance and Nine Dragons and Scorpio still have scope but will require improvement to get the better of Ed Walker’s gelding.
